Russian Cut Crystal Drinking Glasses 8 oz for Metal Glass Holder Podstakannik Hot Tea Coffee

These are imperative for any hot black or green tea lower.Being a hot tea expert I was looking for these kind of glasses for two years and this is why.First, ability to control the tea strength by visual monitoring the darkness of the tea.My crave for the tea strength vary per time of the day or week day. I like stronger tea in the morning.Second, these are made of the 'statement' crystal glass which looks luxury and impressive.I purchased Turkish made 'armut' type of glasses here on Amazon before and was disappointed.Those were a way thinner in impressive. This glasses are shiny and the real crystal.Third, the pricing is reasonable.Apparently one can find a cheaper version. However in a longer run these are better investment.Social status of a family in Soviet Russia was gauged by amount of crystaldisplayed in the house. These glasses definitely would take your household to the next social level there and would make a difference.

I bought these for a different purpose. I was visiting my aunt and uncle and saw them drinking wine from a glass that looked just like this glass, someone gave them a set and they have used them for wine for several years. Since they are both in their 80's and a little shaky they like this type of glass over a stemmed wine glass. It is still nice looking for a dinner table and not too big. They are a hit at my house for drinking wine outside when we leave the stems inside. Easy to put in the dishwasher and not too expensive.

Great product at a great price. I had been looking for a replacement glass that had been broken for a while without success. As I was getting ready to order the missing glass it occurred to me that we had come across another 4 holders. I found the increment needed and placed to the order, it arrived quicker than anticipated. The glasses are a reminder of craftsmanship that is disappearing rapidly, they even have the leaded crystal stickers. They made a great Mother's Day gift.

The glasses arrived quickly and were much better than I expected. They look beautiful in the metal holders and feel nice and heavy, not too delicate. My only complaint is one of the glasses arrived smashed to bits, but I guess one out six isn't too bad.

I thought I did a review on these? Ok so they are 100% beautiful (see Photo) and yes, absolutely I would buy them again in a new York minute.My set measures:63.50mm (2-1/2")- ID at the top and 67.0mm(2-11/16")- OD top.The Bottom they measure 63.50mm (2-1/2")- OD.In addition they stand 111.1257mm (4-3/8") tall/height.Wall thickness of these glasses at the top are 3.175(1/8").The bottom thickness is 12.70mm (1/2").FYI: I measured mine with a set of (calibers, sorry I'm a bit of a perfectionist). Rulers and tape-measure all very to some degree around the world.FYI: O.D.= Outside, Outer Dia; diameter and I.D.= Inside, Inner Dia; diameter

The cups you shipped to me were different from the cups that are in the picture. I want a full refund and will return all 6 cups shipped to me.

It's wrong size for podstakannik, about !/8 inc. to big.

These are great quality glasses that can be used alone or along with the Russian tea/coffee holders

Verres artisanaux en pure cristal, extrêmement bien taillés. Légères variations de diamètre (quelques centièmes de millimètre ) d'un verre a l autre permettant l insertion parfaite dans des portes tasses d époque (qui elles mêmes n étaient pas produites de façon identique).Tres satisfaite du vendeur ++++ biélorusse,postage en 3 semaines,double emballage(voir photo).Je n ai pas payé de frais de douanes supplémentaires.Je recommande chaleureusement ces articles car cela permet de retrouver le plaisir de boire 1 bon thé toute la journee ,préparé au samovar soviétique électrique (méthode traditionnelle de minotage thé/épices/zestes séchés de fruits) dans les podstakannik d 'époque.

Well packaged, exactly as described.

Good stuff, fair (for N.America) price, timely delivery in appropriate wrap. Thanks
